i think thats what im going to do!!! thanks all

thank you i will look into it.

yeah i already have the amp i paid $200 used for it!

i'm sending my T10001bd to rockford to be repaired $208 (blown transsistor's). is it worth keeping after i get it back or should i sell it and buy something else? i never had an amp break down on me? this makes me worry about it happening again. what could have caused this? i had it running at 1 ohm to a re se 15"2ohm dvc. i know i over powered the sub by alot but could this blow transsistors? please just inform me and leave all the bashing/flaming for someone else Dave

well i spoke with rockford and they will fix anything wrong with the amp for $208 flat rate. do you guys think its worth fixing or buying a new amp?

it was running @ 1ohm. any guesses on how much to fix it? this amp was repaired before i owned it so could it be that it was fixed right

ok thanks i have never taken an amp apart. is it fixable?

so can anyone actually tell me what blew up? and maybe if it common or not? thanks

hey everyone i went and tried to hook up amp Rf t10001bd and it was dead. so i opened it up and this is what i see (looks bad to me) i bought this amp from someone around here used it was repaired by amp doctor (i think) but it worked great for awhile then i toasted my sub and took the rest of the equipment out. please tell me what went wrong? is it repairable and if so just maybe some prices or should i buy a new amp?

ok well i know what i have to do and buy have you ever used a batcap or just do the alt and battery?

Thank you to all for the help! So whats the remedy for undervoltage?

yeah i think you have a point. time for a FI?

well my story goes like this after about 10 years away from the car audio scene, i found some of Steve's video's and i started doing my home work about the new epuipment out and about ect. so i finally bought a Rockford t1000-bd and a RE SE 15 (2ohm)dvc. wired to the spec Then i built a 4 cu.ft. "L ported" enclosure that would fit in my 01 alero's trunk. i have all rockford wires. It has worked great for about 4 months then last night on my way into work i was jammin for like 5 mins max. trying to get in the mood to be at work and the system went flat(no bass) and all kinds of smoke started rolling out of the box so i shut the system off and pulled over and sure as sh!@ the woofer was hot as hell! the gain on the amp is set at 1/4. i do use the remote bass knob the amp came with. can anyone comment on why this could have happened? what should i do know? please no insults! upon closer inspection the fuse on the amp seems to have melted a "very little" i will get the amp tested this week and see where it goes from there. is it worth fixing if need be? Thank you Dave

what make, model and engine is the car? it sounds to me like mass airflow sensor or the tps. but it also sounds like it could be the filter but if the cat was bad you wouldn't be able to rev at anytime. just me 2cents: also when the check engine light comes on don't try and get it to go away! try and find someone with a scanner and see what the codes are!! i know autozone up here will put the scanner on it up for free!

does anyone know the facts behind this shooting? it looks like the officer is WRONG really wrong but what happened?
